NOTE: An experience with county-wide local school tax is the 
most effective argument for it. Counties adjacent to local tax 
counties, seeing its benefits, most readily vote for it. See map.

HART COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. 

The paramount public school problem confrontmg Hart county 
just now is the question of " County- wide local tax" vs. "District 

Tlie people of the county are strongly in favor of better rural 
schools, for more than four-fifths of the county has already voted 
by more than two-thirds majority for local school taxation. _ But 
this local school tax is levied and administered by the "District 
Plan," which has proven both expensive and unsatisfactory. 

There are thirty school districts in the county, of which twenty- 
five have voted in "favor of the "District local tax." Four of these 
have repealed it, leaving twenty-one districts still operating under 
it with more or less unsatisfactory results. These are as follows: 

Districts. Rate. Amount. 

Airline (and Adams) 5 mills •$ 314.07 

Bio 5 mills 115.02 

Beulah 5 mills 257.35 

Cedar Creek 4.5 mills 196.6H 

Cross Roads 5 mills 174.62 

Cokesburv 3.5 mills 188.97 

Camp Ground 4 mills 202 39 

Duncan 3 mills 166.51 

Eureka 4 mills 146.11 

Flat Shoals • 2.5 mills 114.08 

Goldmine 5 mills 250.78 

King's Bench 4.5 mills 204.12 

Liberty Hill 5 mills 157.36 

Midway (and Mt. Hebron) 5 mills 160.64 

Nuberg 5 mills 299.08 

Reed Creek 5 mills 220.08 

Rice 4 mills 191.26 

Shoal Creek (and Rock Springs) 5 mills 185.87 

Sardis (and Riverside) 5 mills 347.40 

Thomas 5 mills 112.67 

Viola 5 mills 231.16 

Average rate 4.5 mills 

Total amount $4,236.01 

UNSATISFACTORY RESULTS. 

A careful reading of the reports of the schools herein will show : 

1st. That the rate levied in the twenty-one local tax districts 
is generally high, in most cases reaching the maximum constitutional 
limit of five mills. 

2nd. That the schoolhouses (with exceptions of some recently 
built) were very poorly planned for school purposes, usually "in- 
sufficiently lighted," etc. 

3rd. That important and necessary school equipment is gen- 



erally lacking, often ''very poor blackboards, no maps, no charts, 
no globes, no reference dictionaries, no pictures, no library, or 
other helps." 

4th. That the school year is everywhere inadequate, in most 

instances only twenty weeks, or 100 days. 

5th. The absence of organized activities in the schools on ac- 
count of the very short terms. 

A COUNTY-WIDE PLAN. 

If the same average rate (4.5 mills) that is now levied by twenty- 
one separate administrations (local boards) against more than two- 
thirds of the property of the county was levied by a central admin- 
istration (the County Board of Education) against all of the prop- 
erty of the county ($2,201,916.00, exclusive of Bowersville and 
Hartwell) it would yield for the schools $9,090.86 for the benefit 
of ALL the schools of the county, as against $4,236.01 as now col- 
lected for the benefit of two-thirds of them. 

Without increasing the average rate (lowering it in the majority 
of cases) the "county-wide phm" would more than double the 
amount of school funds now received under the "district plan" of 
local taxation. 

This is a startling statement and may need to be verified before 
becoming credible to most citizens, but it is nevertheless an accurate 
statement which can be easily verified from tlie Hart county tax 
books. 

It means that under the "county-wide plan" the County Board 
of Education coukl, without increasing the tax rate, give to the 
largest local tax district (Airline) as much of the local tax money 
as it now gets, and at the same time give to every other school dis- 
trict in the county (including the nine that now get none) as mucli 
as the largest one now gets under the "district plan." 

Furthermore, judging from experiences under the *' county-wide 
plan" elsewhere it is safe to conclude that under administration of 
the County Board of Education the funds would be more economi- 
cally and wisely expended towards securing better planned school- 
houses, better school ecpiipment, longer terms, and better trained 
teachers, because there Avonld be a single administration directly 
responsible to all the people of the county for better rural schools. 

Forty-one counties in the State are now operating their schools 
under the "county unit plan" of support and administration, and 
none have found cause for dissatisfaction. 

We therefore confidently commend the "county-wide plan" to 
the careful consideration of the voters and citizens of Hart county 
in the interest of better rural schools for the county.
